This publication represents not only a year of process, design work, and research but also growth, creativity, and craft in a final artifact. I incorporated this publication into my thesis timeline as a final challenge to myself. This was my first time designing as well as hand-binding a publication.
The publication was designed over the course of 3 weeks. Once I’d written the content, I began chunking the various sections into narratively coherent sub-sections. With my information architecture ready I approached the visual design iteratively. I mood-boarded three distinct themes and prioritized the most thematically relevant. The visual design was completed within 5 days. Binding and final adjustments took an additional week.
